Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrasekhar will chair a meeting of senior government officials here on October 13 and seek their inputs on the draft direct tax code, meant to overhaul the country's tax regime.

Special and additional secretaries from most of the ministries are likely to attend the meeting, an official said.

"Different aspects of the new tax regime will be discussed," he added.

The meeting will follow Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's interaction with heads of leading industry chambers on October 9 on the issue.

In August, the government put the draft direct tax code in public domain and when approved, it will replace the Income Tax Act of 1961 and other related laws.
